Synthetics

Taking seismic-to-well calibration to the next level.

Seismic-to-well calibration is performed in order to integrate seismic and well data to build a consistent picture of the subsurface. While seismic data alone provides a good overall picture of a large subsurface area, well data delivers a high-resolution, detailed and quantitative picture of the subsurface at a single location. Integrating these datasets is the only way to obtain a detailed quantitative picture of an areal subsurface. This makes seismic-to-well calibration a central component in any seismic interpretation or reservoir characterization workflow. Seismic-to-well calibration is often referred to as a “synthetics utility” because its basic action is calculating a “synthetic seismogram”.

Unlike traditional offerings, in Paradigm®SeisEarth® calibration is performed within the main visualization window, as a natural extension of the interpretation workflow. Multi-attribute seismic and multi-attribute synthetics are automatically matched with one mouse click. A unique multi-well functionality enables the simultaneous processing of many wells within a shared visualization framework, enabling easy QC and management of the calibration workflow. In the multi-well approach, all wells can be processed together in a well-defined and logical workflow, generating a single wavelet that characterizes the seismic data.

Synthetics benefits

Well-to-seismic calibration performed directly in the main windows enhances efficiency.

A valuable tool for casual users and experts, as it is easy to use, yet sophisticated and comprehensive.

Synthetics features

Well-to-seismic calibration integration performed entirely within the Paradigm multi-attribute interpretation environment (Section Window) with multi-attribute seismic and synthetics are automatically matched at a click of a button.

Multi-well capabilities: Many wells may be simultaneously processed within a multi-well visualization framework, enabling users to easily QC and manage the calibration workflow.

Multi-attribute functionality: Various synthetic seismograms corresponding to AVO and other attributes are automatically displayed in relevant seismic/attribute datasets. Multi-attribute wavelet extraction produces a separate wavelet for each attribute.
